You can be rewarded with a lot of different awards in many categories (race wins, kills, buying stuff, etc...). Some of them have different levels (bronze, silver, gold and platinum) and some others are directly platinum (like a hole-in-one while playing golf).

Some activities played with a friend can give you several platinum awards at once - the best one is playing tennis, which can give awards for winning a match perfectly, getting many aces and so on.

Easy platinum awards are for buying clothes, tattoos, hairstyles and lap-dances. Some of them have similar requirements as other trophies - robbing all 20 stores is one of them for example.

With the new Online-Heists-Update, this trophy got a lot easier. If you aim for those DLC-Trophies as well, you will get at least eight Platinum Awards while playing the Heists. See the guide linked below for more information about the Heist-Trophies.


The Doomsday- & Casino-Heists added even more simple Awards, which can easily obtained while playing through them, reducing the grind significantly.

You can see your progress in the menu-statistics and on the Rockstar Social Club.

Some of the awards are buggy and might be rewarded, although you haven't met the requirements, while others won't be rewarded although you should have completed them. Try some other medals if some do not seem to work for you.
